Ron Barcelo Gold Rum Imperial

Ron Barceló Imperial Gold Rum: The World's Most Awarded Cane Juice Rum

Discover the unparalleled smoothness and rich complexity of Ron Barceló Imperial Gold Rum, a super-premium spirit that has been twice chosen as "The Best Rum in the World" by the Beverage Testing Institute of Chicago, achieving an unprecedented 97 out of 100 points. This iconic Dominican rum stands uniquely apart from many others as it is crafted exclusively from the fermented juice of estate-grown sugarcane, rather than molasses. This dedication to raw material, combined with natural aging for up to 10 years in select ex-bourbon barrels, results in an exquisite harmony of color, fragrance, and flavor. Ron Barceló Imperial offers a sophisticated sipping experience, embodying the true essence of Dominican rum and a commitment to carbon neutrality.

Key Characteristics:

• Estate-Grown Sugarcane Juice Base: Uniquely distilled from the fermented juice of fresh, estate-grown sugarcane (not molasses), contributing to its distinct purity and smoothness.
• Aged in Bourbon Barrels: Matured for a blend of rums aged up to 10 years in American ex-bourbon oak barrels.
• Dominican Republic Origin: Proudly produced by Ron Barceló, a leading and highly respected distillery in the Dominican Republic.
• Gold Rum Profile: Displays a bright copper-amber color, indicative of its rich aging and complex character.
• Carbon Neutral Status: The first rum in the world to obtain Carbon Neutral Status under the Bilan Carbone® License, reflecting a strong commitment to sustainability.
• Super-Premium Sipper: Crafted for neat enjoyment or on the rocks, showcasing its depth and balance.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Rich aromas of buttercream, dried cherries, and intense vanilla, complemented by notes of pineapple jam and caramelized walnuts. Hints of toasted wood and subtle spice.
• Palate: A dry yet fruity and lush medium body, bursting with depth and balance. Flavors of toffee, roasted nuts, sweet spices, and a delicate fruitiness (pear, orange esters, green apple) intertwine with a rich oaken base.
• Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering notes of carrot cake, kola nut, mocha, and a strong, slowly fading toasted flavor, leaving a pleasant sensation of oak and subtle sweetness.
